Solar System to Scale Lab
The objective of this lab is to make a scale model of our solar system, so as to better understand just how large the distances in our solar system are.
Materials Required
- Scientific Calculator
- Meter Stick(s)
- Objects/signs to represent each object in the Solar System
This lab is used in 8th grade physical science and 9th grade earth science. After students calculate the scale distances between each object in the Solar System, you then have the class make the scale solar system

Sunspot Graphing Lab
The objective of this lab is to apply knowledge of graphing relationships to graph and determine the relationship between sunspots and time. Students will be asked to label and number the x- and y- axes on their graph, plot data in a line graph format, interpret the relationship between the independent and dependent variables, and extrapolate the data shown on the graph to make predictions about future sunspot activity. This lab is used in a 9th grade earth science class and meets the New York

MATH LESSON & MATH LAB - The Fibonacci Sequence
Have students discover, for themselves, both the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio in this very fun lesson about patterns!This is a tried and true math lesson and lab that I have created and used for many years with my 7th and 8th grade classes. Students use a fancy formula derived by mathematician Jacques Philippe Marie Binet that will figure out any number in the Fibonacci sequence. And, they find out more about the special number phi. In the MATH LESSON, students will ...evaluate an exp

Dimensional or Unit Analysis Summary
I use this MS PowerPoint presentation in my 8th grade Pre-Algebra and 9th grade Math I classes as part of our initial review of various basic math topics. It can also be used in science classes as proper unit conversion is a must for science. It utilizes a detailed, step-by-step process to convert and solve various dimensional or unit analysis problems. The presentation includes the detailed solution of 4 example dimensional / unit analysis problems. It is a totally animated ppt file and is
